"The New Year" Chords
by Parachute
Chords by Joe G
Capo on 1
Em refers to 022003 (relative to the capo). Basically an Em with your pinky on
the 3rd fret of the high E string.
An asterisk () by itself indicates a muted chord, it's there to help show the pace of the song.
Intro:
[G] [C]
[G] [C]
G Em
I'm sick of cleaning up the mess you left behind
(Oh, what a [C]way to start the new year!)
G Em
On my hands and knees and cleaning up the dirt and grime
(Oh, what a [C]way to start the new year!)
G
I'm sick of holding both ends of the tightrope
[Em]Cause when you fall all that's [C]left is old high hopes for
G Em
me. Stretched thin, to the end, trying to keep it all in
Oh, what a [C]way to start the new year!
[D] Won't you say that it's al[Am]right?
[D] Won't you tell me it's [C]okay?
Because there's...
[G]Three hundred and [D]sixty-[C]four more [G]days
G G D C Em
I might be smiling but you'll never even hear me say
Em Em/D C
That I like it in the shadows
Em C
Counting down to zero just to start again
Oh what a [D]way to start the new year
[G] [C] [G] [C]
G Em
Don't get me wrong, I hate this holiday
(What a [C]way to start the new year!)
[G]On my hands and knees, [G]choosing what I have to sa[Em]y
(What a [C]way to start the new year!)
[G]I never realized it could [G]mean so much
Just to [Em]go to bed later when we [C]have to get up all the [G]same,
And we[G] scream and clap for the [Em]end of what was and [C]what we've become, oh...
[D]Won't you say that it's al[Am]right?
[D]Won't you tell me it's [C]okay?
'Cause we have...
[G]Three hundred and [D]sixty-[C]four more [G]days
[G]I might be [G]smiling but you'll [D]never even [C]hear me [Em]say
Em Em/D C
That I like it in the shadows
Em C
Counting down to zero just to start again
Oh what a [D]way to start the new year
Am Bm C Em
Was it really that bad?
Am C Em
And could it be better?
[Am] Well, I don't [Bm]know,
But with [C]you I still have [C]hope
That [Am]this... could [C]be... oh, my year[G]!
D C G
Three hundred and sixty-four more days,
G D C Em
One million chances left to find you and to see your face
Em Em/D C Em
Making light out of my shadows, finally get to zero
And maybe we'll both [C]say, [D] that we have...
[G]Three hundred and [D]sixty-[C]four more [G]days
G D C Em
One million chances left to find you and to see your face
Em Em/D C Em
Making light out of my shadows, finally get to zero
And maybe we'll both [C]say
"Oh, what a [D]way to start the new ye[G]ar!"
